Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Enjoying the Conversation

Yan Hui smiled faintly and said, "There’s no need to rush this matter. Telling Zheng Yun is the last resort. First, it’s not easy to gather evidence and it takes time. Going to court would just mean both parties quibbling. Second, the HK Group doesn’t have that much influence over me yet.

In the past two years, I have been expanding the range of company businesses. Thus, although that product is our company’s core and was the weapon that established my business, it is no longer everything to me now.

The truly valuable things can’t be stolen, like my team. She might steal the technology of one product from me, but she can’t steal my team. As long as the team is here, better products will continue to be developed."

It seemed to make some sense. It was unclear whether Yan Hui was saying this to comfort her or if it was really the case.

Wan Chu’er carefully observed Yan Hui’s expression but couldn’t detect anything.

After thinking for a bit, she said, "Mr. Yan, actually, I also looked through some information about your company this afternoon. Have you ever considered just acquiring the HK Group outright? Although the HK Group is second in the industry, there is still a big gap between you two. Since you’re competitors anyways, why not take the opportunity to acquire them now before they grow stronger? It also means one less competitor."

Acquiring a competitor is actually a common approach used by big companies.

Yan Hui looked at Wan Chu’er in surprise and smiled, "That’s not a bad idea."

Wan Chu’er thought he was joking, so she seriously said, "Mr. Yan, I’m serious. You could check the domestic and foreign big companies; they all do this, and that’s why they keep growing and nearly have no competitors."

Yan Hui nodded, "I’ll have the company assess the feasibility of acquiring HK."

Now it was Wan Chu’er’s turn to be surprised. She asked incredulously, "Are you serious?"

"I never joke about work."

Wan Chu’er smirked, then cheered up, thinking if Zheng Yun knew that HK was acquired by Yan Hui, she wondered what his expression would be like.

Would he be utterly shocked, or delusionally think that Yan Hui did such a big move for her?

Seeing the sly glint in Wan Chu’er’s eyes, Yan Hui couldn’t help but chuckle, "What kind of mischief are you thinking about?"

Wan Chu’er blinked innocently, "Mr. Yan, do you really see me as that kind of scheming person? I’m very busy, you know."

This isn’t good, giving Mr. Yan such a negative impression.

She quickly changed the subject, "Mr. Yan, thank you for investing in Xiao Bai and me. In a few years, you’ll definitely feel proud and grateful for your decision today."

"Oh? Are you so sure about that?" Yan Hui smiled.

"Of course!" Wan Chu’er confidently affirmed, "With the development of technology, the internet will definitely penetrate every aspect of people’s lives, studies, and work. Whoever takes the first steps in the internet domain will have the advantage and later can just lay back and count money."

You should know, in the future’s national wealth rankings, those not in the internet business, are in real estate, and the internet sector has even greater potential, surpassing real estate by far.

Seeing Wan Chu’er talk about the future prospects of the internet with a radiant and glowing demeanor, Yan Hui’s gaze flickered.

He said, "I’ll further look into investing in this area."

Wan Chu’er chuckled, "Mr. Yan, trust me, you can’t go wrong. Take advantage now while the internet is still in its early stages and enter the scene. If Xiao Bai and I had your resources, we would do even more."

Yan Hui couldn’t help laughing, "You are doing well now."

His smile was like a lotus blooming in a clear lake, profoundly affecting and stunning.

Wan Chu’er was momentarily dazed until Yan Hui walked ahead of her by several steps. She then came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and silently thought: Yan Hui is like a poppy flower, making people unknowingly addicted.

She didn’t follow him but rather raised her voice, "Mr. Yan, it’s getting late, we should head back."

Yan Hui stood and looked back at her, nodded gently with a smile, "Alright, I’ll walk you back."

Wan Chu’er quickly waved her hand, "No need, it’s just a short walk."

"Let’s go." Yan Hui gestured forward like a gentleman.

The next morning at breakfast, Yan Hui appeared again at the dining table.

"Mr. Yan, good morning." Wan Chu’er paused, then cheerfully greeted.

"Morning." Yan Hui stood up to pull out a chair for her, Wan Chu’er felt a bit embarrassed but didn’t say anything, and just smiled and sat down comfortably.

During the meal, Old Sir Zhong said, "Do you have time this morning? If you’re free, let Li Shan teach you how to drive."

Wan Chu’er happily agreed, "Sure, but how about tomorrow? I am going to visit the Jiang Family today. Jiang Kechu will be picking me up in a while."

Old Sir Zhong nodded, not adding anything more.

After the meal, Yan Hui didn’t rush to leave, but instead started chatting with Wan Chu’er, inquiring in detail about internet-related matters.

Wan Chu’er thought Yan Hui was considering venturing into the internet sector and wanted more information, so she was very willing to talk to him about it. She poured out all her thoughts about the internet’s development over the next ten years.

During their conversation, mainly Wan Chu’er spoke continuously, while Yan Hui thought deeply, occasionally asking questions. They were so engrossed in conversation that they didn’t notice Jiang Kechu’s arrival.

As soon as Jiang Kechu entered the living room, he saw Wan Chu’er and Yan Hui laughing and talking by the window. He narrowed his eyes, maintaining a calm expression, and first went to greet the old master.

"This is a pot of Lychee Wine I got from our Chief, you might like it." Jiang Kechu put a pot of wine in front of Old Sir Zhong.

Old Sir Zhong took it with appreciation, looked at it thoughtfully for a while, and said, "This must have come from Lei Youda in Lingnan region, right?"

Jiang Kechu smiled, "Exactly, it’s a treasure from Chief Lei."

The old master hummed, saying, "It must not have been easy to get such a pot from him."

Jiang Kechu smiled, "You know it well."

This pot had also been his reward after completing a mission, which he had managed to obtain from Lei Youda with great effort.

The old master said, "I heard he likes drinking, especially the Lychee Wine brewed in his hometown."

It wasn’t until Old Sir Zhong and Jiang Kechu had talked for a while that Wan Chu’er noticed Jiang Kechu’s arrival. She quickly said to Yan Hui, "My boyfriend is here. Let’s stop here for today. If you have any more questions later, you can ask me."

Jiang Kechu, who was attentive and had sharp hearing, had been keeping an eye on Wan Chu’er’s side and naturally heard her words. A glint flickered in his eyes, but with the old master beside him, he dared not make any moves, not until Wan Chu’er happily sat beside him.

"Jiang Kechu, when did you arrive? You didn’t even call me."

Jiang Kechu said, "I saw you and Mr. Yan having a good chat, so I didn’t want to disturb."

Old Sir Zhong glanced at him, then returned to his newspaper.
